Previously it has been possible to get a business or house forced in your name, despite not having the necessary slots to own the given property - we no longer do that.

If you win an auction, you must have the required slots before you can actually obtain the property you purchased.
The same thing applies to properties purchased in-game. If you have 10 businesses and want another one, but only have 6 slots, you will have to sell 5 businesses to purchase your new business.

In some instances, we may disregard the limit, but do not expect it - you will need a very good reason for us to do so.
Players exceeding the limit will not lose their properties.

This decision has been made to allow those with no businesses or houses to be able to obtain one, and to avoid hoarders who simply want to own everything with no regard for active players who want to actually use the properties to either gain money or roleplay with their (un)official factions.

This is not open for discussion.

Radios and "public" Frequencies

Unfortunately, it has reached a point where we once again need to point out that radios are IN CHARACTER means of communication.
That means you can not react to OOC actions such as players being kicked, killed because it shows up on the kill list, or generally comment on OOC situations on the radio.

Radios are only meant to communicate and organize with your friends, factions or contacts. We have the global OOC function if we believe you can handle talking across the server.
In addition to that function we added groups, and later teams for you to organize across factions and unofficials. You can use them to talk about anything you want - it's up to you.

We will begin cracking down on this on a much larger scale from tonight as it's something all staff members, and many faction leaders have had issues with in the past.

Mixing is a general issue on the server, and this is the first step we will take to limit that problem.
We're all guilty, and we've all done it. Let's look forward now and actually get better.

Initially we will issue kicks or 60 minutes mute on players who abuse the function, repeated offenses may result in /warnings or worse punishments.

Server Update (28/03/2018)

It's been a while but we're still alive; gamemode updates have been put on the server.

Fighting Style, Gym & Boxing

Fighting styles are no longer reserved for premium members; now anyone can get any fighting style, including the the one with very high damage, knee-head. Every character now has a fitness level which can be increased in the gym.

You can use the treadmill (/gym treadmill) and follow the instructions on the screen or join the boxing right and have a fight against another player, 1v1. (/gym boxing)

In every gym activity your fitness level increases. Every paytime, your fitness level decreases by 10. Premium members only lose 5 fitness level per paytime.
You can select your desired fighting style (/gym fightstyle) but in order to keep it you must keep your fitness level high enough; so go to the gym regularly.

Improved paintball lobbies

Paintball lobby creators may now change the map immediately and allow players in the lobby to use c-bug, for those who prefer that.
